Dynamax Isata Recall 26V609: Bunk ladder can loosen and pull away, risking injury

NHTSA campaign 26V609, reported September 23, 2026, 111 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain Dynamax Isata recreational vehicles from the 2026 and 2027 model years have a bunk ladder that may be attached to a wooden mattress insert. Over time, the ladder can loosen and pull away from the bunk.

A ladder that detaches from the bunk increases the risk of injury, since owners and passengers may fall or lose their grip while climbing to or from the bed.

The repair is free. Authorized dealers will replace the mattress insert with a metal frame at no charge. Owners were notified by letter mailed October 23, 2026. You can also contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-206-7600, referencing recall number 55-2099, and check your vehicle identification number for any open recalls.
